Date with Kafka

Following Kafka, we walked into a very stylish store.

The store's decoration is not modern but full of a classical style unique to The Blue.

Lin Shuang had seen some shops of this style on The Blue, but there were not many as sophisticated and exquisite as this one.

The store is large but filled with clothes, fabrics, and other things.

Lin Shuang even saw some Xianzhou-style clothing here. It seemed that the owner of this store was quite philanthropic.

Kafka held Lin Shuang's hand, pointed to a dress area, tilted her head slightly, and whispered:

"Are there any you like? These clothes."

Although she was planning to make it custom-made, it did not necessarily mean that the entire body needed to be remade. If there was a ready-made one and she liked it, she could, of course, buy it directly.

"…"

Although Lin Shuang thought these clothes were beautiful, did she really have to wear such beautiful clothes to marry Kafka?

"Don't you like it?"

"Not really…"

Lin Shuang was a little embarrassed, but after hesitating for a while, she finally spoke:

"I have never worn this style of clothing before. I feel embarrassed to wear this kind of dress to get the marriage certificate."

Seeing Lin Shuang like this, Kafka finally realized how innocent Lin Shuang really was.

Kafka thought it was quite interesting that this woman had established relationships with so many women, yet she was embarrassed to even put on clothes.

How come she suddenly became so innocent regarding such topics?

"Then give it a try. I think you'd be a good fit."

Seeing that there was no rejection in Lin Shuang's eyes, Kafka led her to the clothes rack and started to demonstrate.

At this time, someone from the store came over and introduced the store to Lin Shuang and the others.

Because of Kafka and the store clerk's recommendation, Lin Shuang tried on the ready-made clothes in the store.

The beautiful haute couture dress, paired with suitable accessories, greatly highlighted Lin Shuang's charm.

At least Lin Shuang herself liked it very much.

As for Kafka, she seemed to have ordered clothes from this store long before.

She came here today to place a new order and to pick up a coat.

Compared to the coat with spider web elements in Lin Shuang's memory, today's coat looked much gentler.

But when Kafka put it on, it fit her perfectly.

After getting the clothes, Kafka quickly ordered a set of clothes for herself and Lin Shuang, respectively.

Just when Lin Shuang saw the store manager register and collect the deposit, she thought she was leaving.

But suddenly Kafka looked directly at the store manager and said:

"Listen—"

At this moment, Lin Shuang vaguely felt a force spreading out from Kafka's voice, instantly pulling the store manager and the clerk into her home court.

Lin Shuang was also affected by this force.

But she didn't know whether Kafka didn't target her or if she had resistance to this aspect.

Anyway, Lin Shuang didn't feel anything strange, nor did she have any strange feeling that she was being manipulated.

Then, Kafka's voice was heard:

"You will not remember our faces or names and will rush to make this order of clothes. After completing the order, you will destroy all records."

"…"

The store manager nodded silently.

Then Kafka took a step back, ignored these people, took Lin Shuang's hand again, and left the store.

Along with the crisp sound of wind chimes, several people controlled by Kafka's words also woke up behind the two of them.

Lin Shuang just looked back before the door closed automatically, then turned her attention back to Kafka.

She stared at Kafka, who was wearing a coat, without saying a word, which made Kafka turn around and smile dotingly:

"What's wrong, dear? Are you worried that I will use the same words on you?"

"No."

Lin Shuang shook her head without hesitation.

The main reason was that there was no need. There was no direct conflict between Kafka and Lin Shuang, and there was no need to use words to control her.

She's just curious about the Word Spirit Technique. It looks... strange. Can this ability work on a creature like a Heliobus?

In the game, only Kafka has the ability of words.

Lin Shuang has never seen a second person with similar abilities.

I don't know if this is a unique ability only in Kafka's hometown or if it is simply a unique ability of Kafka herself.

But Lin Shuang was indeed very curious and wanted it very much.

This ability is quite useful and, of course, very cool.

Lin Shuang did not try to control her expression, and Kafka easily understood Lin Shuang's emotions at the moment and couldn't help laughing.

"Sorry, I haven't used it on a Heliobus yet, but I think it should work."

Kafka's words are spiritual abilities. Although the Heliobus has no physical body, they have a soul.

So Kafka felt that the words should be effective.

Lin Shuang nodded, and Kafka had no intention of going deeper into the topic of Word Spirits.

"Well, let's go this way. Let's find a place to sit for a while and have some afternoon tea."

…

Kafka did not make plans in advance like Firefly did.

Apart from the custom-made clothing at the beginning, the store where Kafka took Lin Shuang to rest was also a spur-of-the-moment decision.

But even so, Lin Shuang didn't think there was anything wrong with this date.

In the beautiful coffee shop, there is a pianist playing melodious music on the stage.

A window seat for two.

Lin Shuang sat on the chair, stirring the coffee in front of her with one hand, her eyes fixed on Kafka.

Aside from the conversation with the waiter, there was a moment of silence between the two.

Kafka supported her chin with one hand and looked sideways at the passersby coming and going outside the window.

And with her slightly parted lips, she was whispering to the music that was echoing in the store.

The sunlight outside the house fell on Kafka through the mottled shadows of the trees and the transparent glass, making her seem covered with a layer of light golden light.

Instinctively, Lin Shuang picked up the mobile phone on the table and turned on the camera function.

Then point the camera at Kafka, and the phone automatically focuses.

With a click—

The beautiful and slightly sad Kafka was recorded on Lin Shuang's mobile phone.

Maybe it was because Lin Shuang's gaze was too hot, or maybe the movement of taking the photo was too big.

"What's wrong?"

Kafka supported her chin with one hand, tilted her head, and looked away from the window, and the music she was singing also stopped.

She looked at Lin Shuang with a smile, not minding at all about being photographed by Lin Shuang.

Kafka's purple eyes were as bright as gemstones.

The look she gave Lin Shuang was gentle but also seemed to be mixed with a bit of emptiness.

"I'm stunned. You look really beautiful today."

Lin Shuang was not stingy with praise. With a slightly blushing face, she turned the phone over and pushed it in front of Kafka.

The scene just recorded was also displayed in front of her.
